VENTURA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI) announced today its Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) division closed the sale of Via Ventura, a 192-unit apartment complex in Ventura, California. The property sold for $74 million, which equates to $385,417 per unit, the highest price per unit for a multifamily asset in the city of Ventura.

“One of the premier assets in Ventura County, this multifamily property presents new ownership with a compelling value enhancement opportunity through select upgrades to the property’s original interior finishes,” said Kevin Green, senior director. “Via Ventura is situated within one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in the city of Ventura, where the median price of a single-family home is $632,000,” added Greg Harris, executive managing director.
